Back Interfacing of Rain Drop Sensor with Arduino Uno. What is a Rain Drop Sensor? A raindrop sensor is a board on which nickel is coated in the form of lines. It works on the principle of resistance. The rain Sensor module allows the measurement of moisture via analog output pins and it provides a digital output when a threshold of moisture exceeds. The module is based on the LM393 op amp. It includes the electronics module and a printed circuit board that “collects” the rain drops. As raindrops are collected on the circuit board, they create paths of parallel resistance that are measured via the op amp. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Raindrop sensor 1 Jumper cables 4 Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: Vcc +5 Volts Power Source GND Ground or negative power source A0 Analog Output – A0 Tested Programming Code: const int sensorMin = 0; const int sensorMax = 1024; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int sensorReading = analogRead(A0); int range = map(sensorReading, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 3); switch (range) { case 0: Serial.println("RAINING"); break; case 1: Serial.println("RAIN WARNING"); break; case 2: Serial.println("NOT RAINING"); break; } delay(1000); } Precautions: Double-check the connections before powering on the circuit. Don’t use loose jumper cables. Check whether the proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. Ensure proper placement of Rain drop Sensor for correct working. Don’t lose hope if Rain Drop Sensor does not run properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: Once your sketch is running, you have to open your serial monitor. There you can see the Moisture or Rain on the Board. Reference URL GET IN TOUCH We'd love to hear from you Contact Us

Back Interfacing of GSM 800 L Modules with Arduino. What is a GSM Module ? The SIM800L is a cheap and portable GSM breakout board with all the capabilities of the larger SIM900 shields. In this Arduino SIM800L tutorial, I will help you get started with this nifty device. Sending and receiving texts with your Arduino have never been easier! SIM800L Introduction Here are the features of the SIM800L breakout board: 2G quad-band @ 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Receive and make calls using the speaker and microphone outputs Receive and send SMS Connect to the Internet via GPRS Listen to FM radio broadcasts Accepts AT Commands From the specification of SIM800L we would able to find out that its: Operating Voltage: 3.3 - 5 Volts Recommended voltage: 3.4 - 4.4 Volts Recommended Current: 1 – 2 Amp Therefore, if we use voltages below 3.4, either the SIM800L will not work or it will work but not all its features are responding (e.g unable to read SIM card). But if use voltage equal to its MAXIMUM operating voltage, the module might heat up and then got destroyed, or if we use ABOVE operating voltage, well, it will absolutely destroy the module. Most important, we should not supply a current above 2 Amp (e.g 5 Amp) to the module, it will destroy the module even if your voltage is in 3.4 - 4.4 volts range. But here in our tutorial, you will observe that the module get 5V supply from arduino. That’s sound risky, but as my measurement, computation and observation, 5V pin in Arduino generate current from 500mA -1 Amp which gives a maximum power of 5 Watts. 5 watts qualifies from recommended power which would not cause the module to heat up or destroyed. That’s why 5V pin in Arduino qualifies as a supply voltage. If the power to the SIM800L is enough, the on-board LED starts blinking. The frequency of the blinking means something: Every second: searching for a network. Every three seconds: connected to a network. Twice per second: connected through GPRS. Antennas are essential for this kind of module especially if your project is indoors. Without an antenna, there would not be enough transmitting power for the SIM800L to perform GSM services such as calls and SMS. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 SIM 800L 1 Jumper cables 6 Breadboard 1 Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: Note: Make sure you already inserted your SIM card before powering the module. If not, you will not see any changes in the module LED indicator. SIM800 VCC ↔ Arduino 5v SIM800 GND ↔ Arduino GND SIM800 SIM_TXD ↔ Arduino pin 3 SIM800 SIM_RXD ↔ Arduino pin 2 Step 2: Code Download and Add Adafriut Fona library to your Arduino library. Then open and upload the Fonatest sample code from Adafruit Fona. Open Serial monitor then change baudrate to 115200 and choose NL & CR. Then you'll see Menu of test setup, choose anything you want to test (e.g send and receive message).

Double check the connections before powering on thecircuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from ArduinoIDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of sensor for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if Flex Sensor or LED does not runs properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: You can successfully interface different devices using the Resistance principle of Flex Sensor.s Reference URL GET IN TOUCH We'd love to hear from you Contact Us

s++; } } Now let’s move to the functioning of Bluetooth HC-05 Description: Here we have to include an additional library for the PROGMEN which is variable modifier and it’s used for storing data in the flash memory instead of SRAM. When we have a larger database of variables which are static, like in this case defining letters and characters, it’s better to store them in the flash memory because it’s much bigger, 32K bytes, compared to the 2K bytes of the SRAM. Next with a character array we define the scrolling text and in the loop section the custom function printStringWithShift, prints the scrolling text on the LED matrix with a scrolling speed defined in milliseconds with the second argument. The first thing that this custom function do is that it extracts the characters from the text string and then display these scrolling characters on the led matrix. The particular module that I have can be powered from 3.6 to 6 volts, because it comes on breakout board which contains a voltage regulator. However, the logic voltage level of the data pins is 3.3V. So, the line between the Arduino TX (Transmit Pin, which has 5V output) and the Bluetooth module RX (Receive Pin, which supports only 3.3V) needs to be connected through a voltage divider in order not to burn the module. On the other hand, the line between the Bluetooth module TX pin and the Arduino RX pin can be connected directly because the 3.3V signal from the Bluetooth module is enough to beaccepted as a high logic at the Arduino Board. Circuit Schematics: Here’s how we need to connect the module to the Arduino Board. Connecting the Smartphone to the HC-05 Bluetooth Module and the Arduino Now we are ready to connect the smartphone to the Bluetooth module and the Arduino. What we need to do here is to activate the Bluetooth and the smartphone will find the HC-05 Bluetooth module. Then we need to pair the devices and the default password of the HC-05 module is 1234. After we have paired the devices we need an application for controlling the Arduino. There are many application in the Play Store for this purpose which will work with the Arduino code that we wrote. However, I made my own custom application for this tutorial using the MIT App Inventor online application. This is a great and easy to use application for building Android application and in my next tutorial you can find a detailed step by step guide how to build your own custom Android application for your Arduino Project. Android App for Controlling 8×8 LED Matrix via Bluetooth Once we learned how the MAX7219 works, now we can make the third example which is a practical Arduino project where we will build a custom Android app to control the LED matrix via Bluetooth communication. Before we continue I would suggest you to check detailed tutorials on how to use the HC-05 Bluetooth module and how to build a custom Android app using the MIT App Inventor online application . Here’s the Arduino code and now let’s see the modifications compared to the previous example. /* 8x8 LED Matrix MAX7219 Scrolling Text Android Control via Bluetooth by Dejan Nedelkovsk i, www.HowToMechatronics.com Based on the following library: GitHub | riyas-org/max7219 https://github.com/riyas-org/max7219 */ #include #include #include PROGMEM const unsigned char CH[] = { 3, 8, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // space 1, 8, B01011111, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // ! 3, 8, B00000011, B00000000, B00000011, B00000000, B00000000, // " 5, 8, B00010100, B00111110, B00010100, B00111110, B00010100, //# 4, 8, B00100100, B01101010, B00101011, B00010010, B00000000, // $ 5, 8, B01100011, B00010011, B00001000, B01100100, B01100011, // % 5, 8, B00110110, B01001001, B01010110, B00100000, B01010000, // & 1, 8, B00000011, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // ' 3, 8, B00011100, B00100010, B01000001, B00000000, B00000000, // ( 3, 8, B01000001, B00100010, B00011100, B00000000, B00000000, // ) 5, 8, B00101000, B00011000, B00001110, B00011000, B00101000, // * 5, 8, B00001000, B00001000, B00111110, B00001000, B00001000, // + 2, 8, B10110000, B01110000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // , 4, 8, B00001000, B00001000, B00001000, B00001000, B00000000, //- 2, 8, B01100000, B01100000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // . 4, 8, B01100000, B00011000, B00000110, B00000001, B00000000, // / 4, 8, B00111110, B01000001, B01000001, B00111110, B00000000, // 0 3, 8, B01000010, B01111111, B01000000, B00000000, B00000000, // 1 4, 8, B01100010, B01010001, B01001001, B01000110, B00000000, // 2 4, 8, B00100010, B01000001, B01001001, B00110110, B00000000, // 3 4, 8, B00011000, B00010100, B00010010, B01111111, B00000000, // 4 4, 8, B00100111, B01000101, B01000101, B00111001, B00000000, // 5 4, 8, B00111110, B01001001, B01001001, B00110000, B00000000, // 6 4, 8, B01100001, B00010001, B00001001, B00000111, B00000000, // 7 4, 8, B00110110, B01001001, B01001001, B00110110, B00000000, // 8 4, 8, B00000110, B01001001, B01001001, B00111110, B00000000, // 9 2, 8, B01010000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, // : 2, 8, B10000000, B01010000, B00000000, B00000000, B00000000, //;

col += buffer[0] + 1; s++; } } Description: First we need to include the SoftwareSerial.h library which will enable the Bluetooth communication and define some variables needed for the program. In the setup section we need to initialize the Bluetooth at its default baud rate of 38400 bits per second. I set the initial text message to be “TechKnowSkola” with 100 milliseconds delay scrolling speed. Next, in the loop section, using the Bluetooth.available() function we check whether there is incoming data from the serial port and if that’s true using the Bluetooth.read function we start reading the serial port, one byte each iteration. So the first incoming byte will be always stored into the “indicator” variable and according to it choose whether we will change the text message, the scrolling speed or the brightness of the LED matrix. If we take a look at the Android app code blocks we can notice that when the “Send” button is clicked, first we send the indication byte, in this case “1”, which means we want the change the text message. In order to do that, at the Arduino side, we will clear the whole character array and also clear the LED matrix display. Then in the “while” loop we will read the rest of the data in the serial port, and that’s the messaged typed in the text box of the Android app. In case the indication variable is “2”, that means we have changed the position of the scrolling speed slider, so we will read its new value using the Bluetooth.readString() function and adjust the scrolling speed. In the same way we adjust the brightness of the LEDs.

Back Bluetooth Controlled Car Using Arduino Uno. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 12V DC Motor /BO motor 2 Jumper cables 15 HC-05 Bluetooth Module 1 Breadboard 1 Breadboard 1 This tutorial will teach you how to create your own Bluetooth controlled car. So let’s get started. This will be a Bluetooth controlled car so for this project we will be using HC-05 Bluetooth module to receive the controlling data packets. We will also need an android app which will be sending the controlling data packets to the Bluetooth module. We will use a third party application ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broxcode.arduinobluetoothfree&hl=en to download) for this purpose. Let's build the hardware (Body of the car) The car which we are building for this project will be a dual motor car. Two 12 v 200 rpm DC or BO motors. You can use a readymade chassis. Circuit Now let us build the circuit. CODE : Here we will use the direction of rotation of motors to control the direction of the car. Forward - Both motors move in forward direction. Backward - Both motors move in backward direction. Left - Left motor moves backwards and right motor moves forward. Right - Left motor moves forwards and right motor moves backward. Stop - Both motors stop Tested Programming Code: #include AF_DCMotor motor1(1); //motor1 is the left motor AF_DCMotor motor2(2); //motor2 is the right motor int val; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); motor1.setSpeed(255); //motor speed is set motor2.setSpeed(255); Stop(); } void loop() { bt=Serial.read(); if(val=='1') //when the bluetooth module recieves 1 the car moves forward { forward(); } if(val=='2') //when the bluetooth module recieves 2 the car moves backward { backward(); } if(val=='3') //when the bluetooth module recieves 3 the car moves left { left(); } if(val=='4') //when the bluetooth module recieves 4 the car moves right { right(); } if(val=='5') //when the bluetooth module recieves 5 the car stops { Stop(); } } void forward() { motor1.run(FORWARD); motor2.run(FORWARD); } void backward() { motor1.run(BACKWARD); motor2.run(BACKWARD); } void left() { motor1.run(BACKWARD); motor2.run(FORWARD); } void right() { motor1.run(FORWARD); motor2.run(BACKWARD); } void Stop() { motor1.run(RELEASE); motor2.run(RELEASE); } Precautions: 1. Double check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of Bluetooth and Motor driver for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if it does not run properly for the first time, try again.

Back Interfacing of Force Pressure Sensor with Arduino Uno. What is a Force Pressure Sensor? An FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) or Force Pressure Sensor is a sensor that allows you to measure physical pressure, weight and squeezing. The resistance of an FSR varies as the force on the sensor increases or decreases. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR, its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ. The harder you press on the sensor’s head, the lower the resistance between the two terminals drops. By combining the FSR with a static resistor to create a voltage divider, you can produce a variable voltage that can be read by a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Force Pressure Sensor 1 Jumper cables 4 LED 1 Resistor 1 ( 10 k) Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: The connections are pretty easy and straight forward. Make the circuit by referring the images. The FSR has two pins, one will be connected to 5V pin. The other to A0 directly and to Gnd pin via a resistor. If you need to connect the LED and control it's brightness, then connect it across pin 13 and Gnd of the Arduino. Tested Programming Code: int fsrPin = 0; // the FSR and 10K pulldown are connected to a0 int fsrReading; // the analog reading from the FSR resistor divider void setup(void) { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(void) { fsrReading = analogRead(fsrPin); Serial.print("Analog reading = "); Serial.print(fsrReading); // the raw analog reading if (fsrReading == 0) { Serial.println(" - No pressure"); } else if (fsrReading < 10) { Serial.println(" - Light touch"); } else if (fsrReading < 50) { Serial.println(" - Light squeeze"); } else if (fsrReading < 150) { Serial.println(" - Medium squeeze"); } else { Serial.println(" - Big squeeze"); } delay(1000); } Precautions: 1. Double check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of Force Pressure Sensor for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if Force Pressure Sensor does not run properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: Once your sketch is running, you have to open your serial monitor. There you can see the Pressure applied on the sensor as Light , Big or No squeeze.

Back Motion Detection using PIR Sensor with Arduino What is a PIR sensor? PIR sensors allow you to sense motion. They are used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensor’s range. They are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used at home or for businesses. They are often referred to as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors. Following are the advantages of PIR Sensors − · Small in size · Wide lens range · Easy to interface· · Inexpensive · Low-power · Easy to use · Do not wear out Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 PIR Motion Sensor 1 Jumper cables 3 Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: Working: The module actually consists of a Pyroelectric sensor which generates energy when exposed to heat. That means when a human or animal body will get in the range of the sensor it will detect a movement because the human or animal body emits heat energy in a form of infrared radiation. That’s where the name of the sensor comes from, a Passive Infra-Red sensor. And the term “passive” means that sensor is not using any energy for detecting purposes, it just works by detecting the energy given off by the other objects. The module also consists a specially designed cover named Fresnel lens, which focuses the infrared signals onto the pyroelectric sensor. You can adjust the sensor sensitivity and delay time via two variable resistors located at the bottom of the sensor board. Tested Programming Code: /* * PIR sensor tester */ int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED int inputPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for PIR sensor) int pirState = LOW; // we start, assuming no motion detected int val= 0; // variable for reading the pin status void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output pinMode(inputPin, INPUT); // declare sensor as input Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(){ val = digitalRead(inputPin); // read input value if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON if (pirState == LOW) { // we have just turned on Serial.println("Motion detected!"); // We only want to print on the output change, not state pirState = HIGH; } } else { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF if (pirState == HIGH) { // we have just turned of Serial.println("Motion ended!"); // We only want to print on the output change, not state pirState = LOW; } } } Precautions: 1. Double Check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check Whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of sensor for correct working. 5. Don’t come in range of the sensor, else it will be always triggering ON. Conclusion: You can successfully check for Motion Detection using an IR sensor. Many more other applications can be made using PIR Motion sensor as it has many possibilities to work with. Output: Once the sensor detects any motion, Arduino will send a message via the serial port to say that a motion is detected. The PIR sense motion will delay for certain time to check if there is a new motion. If there is no motion detected, Arduino will send a new message saying that the motion has ended.
